07:47 AM ET 10.25 | Saying, "He wasn't terrible," Jim Leyland also admitted Jose Valverde "just wasn't good," either. "For whatever reason (the ball) just doesn't seem to be coming out quite right." ... Whether he takes the mound remains a critical question as the series moves on. The Giants rely on a bevy of talented right-handed and switch hitters, including Sandoval, who hit three homers Wednesday. Left-hander Phil Coke would have a difficult task to work his way through the lineup in crunch time. Perhaps this is why [pitching coach Jeff Jones] didn't hesitate when asked whether the team would be willing to use him again. Yes, he said. "I thought he was a lot better [Wednesday night]," Jones offered. Just not good enough.

Valverde was HORRIBLE. If the Tigers had any sense, they'd DL him and bring in Brayan Villarreal.

I think he got into Cabrera's locker before they cleaned it out.

Looks like Marco Scutaro found some leftovers.

I wonder if this is going to end up like "The Iliad" and we'll actually see the gods on the field helping the Giants out.

Do you think it will take Timmah 10 years to find his way home if the Giants win?
